Roughly 12 years ago, I initiated a spiritual awakening that totally changed my life. For me, a strange desire to explore astral projection formed the launchpad that has opened numerous doors of exploration. During this early stage of awakening, I began working with kundalini for the first time. Against that back drop, I wrote a poem called THE AMAZON PRINCIPLE. That link will take you to a 4-minute spoken word recording, where you can just sit back and enjoy. In the last few weeks, I have had an overwhelming urge to write a sequel and, just yesterday completed THE AMAZON PRINCIPLE 2: CRIMINALS OF THE CROSS. This link is to my recorded version and uploaded for your listening pleasure. I view this completion with some fascination, largely because there is a 12 year interval between the first poem and its sequel. The following became obvious to me:

The Amazon Principle 1 – “This is your mind..”

The Amazon Principle 2 – “This is your mind… on kundalini!”

The contrasts are quite stark, on many levels, but a quick synopsis will be beneficial to fully appreciate this.

The initial poem detailed a traveling warrior, in bronze age times, who is thrown into a pitched battle on the side of a group of Amazons. After assisting in their victory, he is taken before their queen and, through magical enchantments, spends the night with her. In the morning he is beaten and chased away. The poem ends with a slight twist, as its last 4 lines reveals.

“It took me many years of pain, to bury memories deep,

But sometimes in the quiet moments, I cannot help but weep.

For imagining finding out, like me, while at Apollo’s altar,

That the haunting time from so long ago had produced a daughter.”

As I re-read the first part, I realized that I had left a number of open doors, from a metaphysical perspective. In short, Part 2, Criminals Of The Cross, has him uniting with his daughter after 18 years, under less than ideal conditions.

The sequel is considerably longer than the original, you must be warned, with a marked absence of historical figures save for Penthesilea, who some claim was the name of several Amazon queens. Apollo, who turns out to be the warriors true father, is the brother of one of the Amazon’s most revered goddesses named Artemis. Additionally, it was said that the Amazon queen, along with her two sisters, were daughters of the war god Ares.

Which means their daughter, who received the name Nevarre, comes from a family line of gods…. on both sides. That might make her somewhat special… and it does.

If this has initiated some interest, you will find both poems quite enjoyable.

As suggested by the title, I have completed Part 2 of my poetic epic and will be sharing it with you, in two forms. First, I’ll be writing up a short background primer for those of you unfamiliar with the characters introduced in Part 1. Secondly, and hopefully better still, you can now listen to my narration of this piece here: http://tindeck.com/users/darkscriptor

There are a host of new characters introduced into part 2 that, when illuminated with relevance and significance, will help unlock some of the underlying messages contained in this piece. At its core, this tale is largely based on Gnostic cosmology and a quick review will prove helpful.

The Gnostics believed in a hierarchy of beings, created by First Cause, Primal Source, Infinite Being, The All…. who wished to experience Itself in every possible way. The direct receivers of Its desire were termed “the Aeons”, who’s job was to set the will of Divine Creator in motion. This realm of existence is pure energy, called the pleroma and is separated by a barrier to all other realms known collectively as the kenoma.

The next in line, in the creation process, were known as the “Emanations”, who were said to be present on all levels of reality, where creation is evolving. With that said…. the Gnostics believed that one Aeon named Sophia, fell through the barrier separating the realms and became trapped in a living planet called earth. She made the mistake of creating an entity – whom the Gnostics called Yaldabaoth – without her sacred pair, and the end result is the darkness and chaos we see playing out on planet earth….. 2,000 years ago and today.

I used those teachings as a basis for this poem, but not to push a single belief on anybody. I have been a student of Gnostic writing for some time and have more than a passing familiarity with it precepts and core beliefs and observations. As a result, I wrote what I knew about. But there’s still more, and this is where it gets really fascinating.

EVOCATION OF THE EGREGORI

This is actually the name of Chapter 3 in this poem and bears some exploring because it ties together some seemingly different threads. I think most spiritually aware people have, at some point, read about the enigmatic Watchers, written about, allegedly, by a being known as Enoch. In those writings, the Watchers are captured and chained, and then forced to watch their offspring being butchered one by one. These children have been termed by some as the egregori. I am aware that some use the term “gregori” to refer to the watchers themselves. All I can say is that this is my tale…lol. Anyway, their souls would be forever imprisoned within the barrier created by the demiurge, where they undergo ensuing incarnations with no knowledge of their origins or potential. If one had a means to “awaken” the souls of the Watchers’ children to their true potential, would they not be a potent force? I thought so too…lol.

Three of these children figure prominently in fragments found among the Dead Sea Scrolls which was entitled The Book Of Giants.

That is the first thing to note… the fragments of this text were found among others that have been shown to be very early copies of some of the Bible’s books. So, this text must have had considerable value and/or veracity to be included in such a trove of texts and cannot be dismissed out of hand. It talks about these children, describing some of their abilities, including being able to access the astral realms at will. Two of Semjaza’s sons, called Ohyah and Ahyah, were legendary warriors. In fact, some have suggested that early Persian lore included Ohyah doing battle with a demon called Leviathon, where he is victorious.A short portion of these fragments describe bad dreams some of them are having and all agree to send their emissary, named Mahway, to see Enoch to interpret these vivions.

THE REAL ACCUSER

It is commonly believed by most in the west, that the “big bad” of the Bible – known as “the accuser” – is named Satan, Lucifer, the devil or something similar. Enter The Book of Jubilees and we have a completely different entity playing the exact role of the “satan”. First, it must be noted that this book is one of the most sacred to Judaism because it marks their history in 7 year increments known as “jubilees”. But also contained within this text is the story of a being named Mastema, who was said to be able to traverse both earth and “heaven” at will. Some have suggested that it was Mastema who actually tried to murder Moses on his way to Egypt, before his wife crudely circumcised their son as appeasement… which apparently worked. Some also suggest that he was the one who slew the first-born of Egypt in that particular myth.

THE SHAPESHIFTERS

Returning to part 2 is the fearsome rakshasa princess called Surpanakha and her force of warriors. The arbiter teams up with them once again, this time for a daring rescue, where they become trapped in a forgotten realm realm facing an overwhelming army of literal demons. The rakshasa are closely related to the Muslim version of djinns, although there are significant differences.

While the poem may be based largely on Gnostic beliefs, I wish to emphasize that I am not suggesting that it is the only valid perspective. There are many truths. What the Gnostics experimented with and documented, was an ability to both see into and interact within other realities. They believed the archons were enslaving mankind energetically and provided protection strategies for their students, including mantras and mudras, which were rhythmic and simplistic hand gestures. A central component to their training was working directly with kundalini energy. Anybody who has worked with this inner energy knows the effects that can have on one’s spiritual development.

So, have you noted any change in your sleep patterns lately? When you look at the sky, does it appear far less blue than you remember as a child? Is the quality of that sleep, when you can get it, of lesser quality than you feel that you require? Have you found yourself awakened between 2 and 4AM, and utilized that time for creative purposes? Have you come across information that altered or expanded an existing paradigm(s) and found yourself inexplicably having past events – some from even childhood that you had all but forgotten – being replayed in your mind that have an attachment of anger, fear, confusion, powerlessness or even grief?

These questions may appear at odds with each other but the fact remains – based on my own experience and many others – that sleep patterns are being changed dramatically lately. I would suggest, based on several sources, that this oddity has a basis both in the physical and metaphysical. I would also add that they are very much interconnected. I will state that if you are experiencing difficulty in your sleeping patterns to first see a doctor, if you feel the need. If some sources are correct, this disruption is only temporary, although they regard a year or two as temporary, which it may well take for some to re-establish a consistently healthy and enriching period of sleep. There is a fair amount taking place, especially during this time period of very shifting energy. Consider the very noticeable confusion, anger and anxiety that is present globally with neverending wars, killing, enslaving and displacing millions, just in the last few months. As spiritually aware beings, we can’t help but be affected by the intense suffering.

I won’t be covering all aspects of sleep, obviously, so more information on the physical aspects of sleep can be found at The National Sleep Foundation.

BLISSFUL SLUMBER

According to The National Sleep Foundation, each of us does require a session of sleep over a given time period. Sleep is essential for many of our physical processes and lack of good quality sleep can lead to serious medical problems including diabetes and obesity. They suggest that teens often require 7-9 hours of sleep to be fully functional, as an example. But they also contend that their minds are quite active late into the evening, which can present very physical problems. Some schools begin classes early in the morning, making it difficult for a teen to balance turning off the active mind and trying to sleep. The consequence is a difficulty in concentration, memory problems and greatly reduced ability to consolidate or retain new information. All too often, there is accompanying depression and a follow-up prescription of antidepressants for the teen.

Each of us has experienced “insomnia” of some type, essentially an inability to fall asleep when we lay our head on the pillow and simply toss and turn. But The National Sleep Foundation suggests that there are actually four components to insomnia: waking up too early and not being able to get back to sleep, frequent awakenings and waking up feeling unrefreshed. Of course, a physical ailment like an oncoming flu bug might be occurring or there may be an element of pain or discomfort to account for these symptoms so, once again, if broken sleep patterns are happening to you over a considerable duration, seeing a doctor might be a serious consideration.

Another aspect to this topic is in the area of dreams and their purpose. Secular psychologists will tell you that this dreamtime period is when our mind tries to make sense of the world around us. This is aptly demonstrated by the often used phrase – “Sleep on it. Things will look differently in the morning.” The same principle is being utilized when we come to a stuck point in a project and set it aside for a time and concentrate on other things. What happens is our 3D analytical mind sends the problem or issue into a type of cycle, searching for a solution. What is being used is a combination of both the analytical and creative aspects in tandem. But here’s the catch – in order to access our “creative” or imaginative part of the brain, it must be able to “join in”. When we spend our time concentrating fully on a solution, it is very difficult for us to tap into our creative aspect, which is actually the key that we need for resolution – essentially solving a problem with a creative solution.

There are many who contend that, aside from a physical need for dreams, there is a distinctly metaphysical purpose as well. Dreams can be harbingers of future events, communication with entities that we’re only able to access in the REM state and even with ourselves, either in a parallel reality or our Higher Self aspect. There are also many who contend that the sleep period allows parts of our energy bodies to detach, and enter another reality of frequency to be recharged. Additionally, this detachment and return may also include energetic information bundles – somewhat like a ZIP file – that are opened over time, in response to specific stimuli.

SPIRIT TRAVEL OR ASTRAL PROJECTION

Some years ago, I attended a lecture by a prominent psychiatrist who claimed to specialize in Dream Interpretation. I asked him, “How many of our dreams are actually astral projection?” His response had been a cold, “There’s no such thing as astral projection.” before moving very quickly to another question. At the time, I had been heavily involved in learning about energy work, exploring and experimenting with astral projection and remote viewing. Sources like the well-known occult writers Denning and Phillips, whose book on astral projection I used as my first guide, contend there is a direct association between our solar plexus chakra and our astral body. In fact, the method they taught – consciousness transfer to a created “astral vehicle” – utilized this chakra exclusively. They also taught, as part of the exercises leading up to actual projection, formation of created entity called a servitor or thought form, that one could send to another point in space/time and return it. But a key part of this process was “downloading” the information it had acquired into the 3D physical brain. There must be a mechanism in place to facilitate that, it doesn’t happen automatically. As this pertains to dreams, this may account for us recalling only scattered pieces of a dream, often one that seemed and felt quite real. It seems ironic: Robert Bruce, a man who has taught 1,000’s of people to AP, including designing an exit method specifically for blind people called the Rope Technique, suggests that AP is a natural process that works when we’re sleeping but requires significant effort and concentration to actually do, while we’re “awake”. The limitation of this type of travel is said to only include our 3D physical and the astral levels of reality.

There are many ancient cultures that firmly believe that our “soul” and/or our “spirit” are also capable of taking flight, referred to by some as the “shamanic journey“. The largest benefit, in my estimation, to spirit travel is that one can access higher-vibrating levels of realities than just the astral. Shamans believed that the soul was free to leave the body during sleep but also had varied methods of “inducement” ranging from chemical means like ayahuasca or physical stimuli like repetitive drumming. It was claimed they could step into “otherworld” and converse with the archetypes of plants to concoct a cure, assist in finding and retrieving lost soul fragments and returning them, and even use it as a means of psychology. In this last, it was believed that some problems faced in a present incarnation have their origins in a past life. The shaman would put a person into a trance and guide them to the Lower Worlds to a place known by some as the Cave of Wounds. There, the individual would view that action – the “first wound” – that was now bleeding into their present incarnation and causing difficulty. By acknowledging it and accepting it, the healing could begin under the shaman’s guidance.

The point here is that first of all, soul or spirit travel is innate for us… at least it is for many. (Explaining this last addition is beyond the purview of this piece and would take considerable time to explore.) While we sleep, it is believed that soul travel is commonplace. Most have an image that these realms of higher vibrating energy are way “out there”, when in fact it can be accessed as if it was only inches away. I contend, based on my own experience and research, that we can open doorways and interact directly with other entities, without even leaving our bodies. To do this, my strong suggestion is to work with our chakras and kundalini energy, as well as develop specific “seeing” skills like remote viewing. There is an excellent site that I go to often to work my “psychic muscle” called The Ten Thousand Roads Project, which provides a huge number of targets, an active forum and an opportunity to discuss results/observations with other RVer’s. If you have never tried to remote view, you can test your ability at another site with a series of targets. On a personal note, it was incredibly exhilarating for me to take the test and discover that, on roughly 80% of the targets, I was somewhat accurate. I knew that I had seen something.

The point is that part of this broken sleep pattern might have to do with us accessing a higher level of awareness, courtesy of the spiritual work we’re doing. Whenever there is an alteration in either the physical, spiritual, emotional or mental aspect of us, it is reflected in the other areas. Consider a tooth ache and the effect it has on our ability to concentrate, which affects the emotional and may well affect the spiritual as well. Similarly, an emotional problem or issue looming over us, which we may try to put off, can have have a noticeable effect on other areas of our lives.

One other consideration here before moving on is worth noting. I have experienced this on occasion and you likely have as well. During periods of spiritual change, we may be haunted by hurtful, embarrassing or even shameful events from our past. It happens when it happens because only then do we possess the needed skills, time, appreciation, understanding or tools to deal with them effectively. Sometimes these “clearings” can take the form of nightmares, which we may not fully recall because this has taken place in the astral realm. Remember, there must be a mechanism or process in place to download those AP’s. While we may not recall them, a part of us does and reacts. I have found that, during periods of great learning, this can happen and it is a needed and desired action. As a result, we have an unconscious reason for not being able to sleep, namely that some part of us is aware of what is happening or happened in the dreamtime and is responding by keeping us awake, when we want to be asleep.

I will add one other suggestion to this that has assisted me greatly. Often, when we can only snatch an hour or two of sleep, like an afternoon nap, the dream recall is significantly higher. If the dream ended in a way that upset you in some way, go back and change the outcome. You’ll know when to do this when you can recall a general location and landmarks eg: trees, field, buildings, parking lots. The next time you lay down, try your best to bring up that fragmented image, rearrange the players, and alter the outcome. I will add that this has sometimes been a type of test for me before moving to another stage of spiritual awareness. I’ll give a quick personal experience to orient you.

In the dream, I was walking beside a building with a fence, apparently aiming for the entry to the soccer field below. A group of 6 men confronted me, took my ticket and began to rough me up for no apparent reason. It was here that I returned to wakefulness, not at all pleased. I got up, had some water and a cigarette, troubled that I had allowed myself to be bullied. When I laid back down, I did some rhythmic breathing and then brought up the location on my inner screen. I entered this other reality, confronted by the same group. This time, I took back my power and I began to lay the boots to them! And then I stopped short. A thought process was taking place I didn’t identify at that time but I sensed I needed to change how I reacted to their violence. Instead of kicking and punching, I simply used thought to wrap each of them in a web they could not escape. That, for me, was the test aspect. Would I respond in kind, as if I was still in 3D, or use my powers as a spiritual being to resolve the conflict without violence?

It has been my experience that we are under scrutiny almost always. Simply being on a spiritual path does not automatically mean we will progress in our development towards our actual role or purpose. We have to do the work, and it can be both painful yet very uplifting. Some suggest this applies even to perspective guides or specialist guides. It is often said that with great wisdom comes great responsibility. Essentially, some guides want to know for certain, beforehand, if the candidate has achieved a required level of proficiency in some area. These tests can be quite unorthodox, may be implanted into our awareness during the REM state, and result in an action – or inaction – on our part, in the 3D waking world, in a type of subliminal programming. It would be similar in nature to the tapes available for learning a new language or improving memory, designed to be used while we sleep. When we wake up, we obviously can’t remember the subliminals. On a personal note, I picked up one for improving my memory, many years ago. I recall the fascination I felt when I really saw a noticeable difference in memory and recall, after less than a week, and it was quite significant. Explained in this way, you will likely see the ties here and why some guides might want to test us in this way… if only to see how connected we truly are to Spirit.

ENERGY AND EMPATHY

In exploring this aspect, as it possibly relates to our segmented sleep patterns, there is a certain amount of cause for concern. Most people take it for granted, but when we’re sleeping there are billions of other people wide awake, across the globe, and are experiencing dire levels of impoverishment, brutality and dislocation. The energy that created the present chaos we see engulfing the countries of the world’s leading powers, is amplified and reinforced by the resultant misery, terror, fear and pain of those who are on the receiving end. Some schools of thought, including the Gnostic mystery schools, believed that the true receivers of this created negative energy were entities that were unable to enter our reality, and instead used their mind control abilities to enslave an entire species so they could siphon off the energy for themselves. As inorganic beings, they were unable to materialize in an organic environment, and were not able to truly create in an organic universe – they could only imitate. Others believe that a central hidden aspect of the 3 messianic religious mythologies involves the planet of Saturn, some going so far as to contend that Saturn is actually the central “mob boss” of those religions. Obviously, this planet stands out as quite unique, with an eye on its south pole, a swirling hexagon at its northern pole – which some claim is imitated by the Muslim ritual of walking slowly around the Kaaba Stone in Mecca – and its innumerable rings.

Belief in supernatural beings can be found in almost every religious belief system, often including the notion of dark fighting light, and often for the prize of human souls. The nature of Saturn itself is also very unique for our solar system. Essentially, it has no surface and is made entirely of numerous gases interacting with each other and yet we regard it as a planet. One other oddity to include here is that NASA, in 2016, will be crashing the Cassini space probe into Saturn, upon completion of its mission by then. Some have raised an alarm that this probe may carry nuclear or fissionable material that will explode in the atmosphere, and turn this ball of gas into a second sun. Is it possible that this “planet” is simply a created entry point into our reality or a type of portal?

I don’t have to articulate many of the insane actions taking place globally, as you’re well aware, if only on an energetic level. And this is an important point that I mentioned in my last post. As spiritually aware beings, we are touched to varying degrees when we become aware of suffering. A side effect of pursuing a progressive spiritual path is an increased capacity for empathy and compassion. This is the good news. The other side of the coin is that it is not a far stretch for energy to be altered or manipulated so our reaction is also changed. For instance, a horrifying aspect of the ISIS threat involves the many reports of a growing slave market, selling women into sexual slavery. Our reaction will be mixed; horror and even anger at the men, and great distress for the poor women. Consider also, that much of this is actually taking place when we are normally fast asleep. The bad news is that we are in a prime state to have that energy of pain, sorrow and despair impact on us directly, just like the subliminal tapes. Is it possible that this may play some role in waking us for no reason, as we experience an overload of emotional energy?

This is hardly comprehensive but I hope it does shed a bit of light on what can be a troubling phenomenon. Obviously, there are many factors to consider. On a personal note, I have seen an increase in “progression symptoms” in recent weeks, including significant research into another poem. Like when one is about to get a full blown cold, there are certain advance symptoms that, if recognized, allows a person to take the needed preventative actions. I’ve found progressing to another level of awareness or understanding has its own unique symptoms. Like building anything, a solid base is essential but it requires specialized knowledge and wisdom to see it to fruition or conclusion.

I’ve detailed a number of thoughts and suggestions above, from both a physical as well as a metaphysical perspective. I don’t believe that one can find a complete answer from a single source. One of the most painful experiences we can put ourselves through is when we hold strong to one side of an issue…. and then try to objectively examine an entirely counter view. Often, we will continue to be defensive as we try to understand an unreasonable argument – from our perspective – and tend to disregard much of it due to our own understanding. Part of this stems from our ego at work, and it can be a momentous obstacle to navigate. It does not suggest a deficiency in us but rather an area where we can progress. I worked in the hospitality and entertainment industry for many years and encountered a fair number of “disgruntled” clients. Responding in kind was obviously not in my best interest but I did develop, owner time, an ability to calmly talk to angry customers. I would suggest that our ability to not allow ourselves to be played with, by these created energies, can also be developed with patience and effort.

One thing that has aided me enormously is rearranging the context of a given event. In recent months, more and more reports are surfacing that indicate a collection of nations are sponsoring ISIS secretly, while overtly pretending to be fighting them as well. The whole war on terror was supposed to be against a mysterious group known as al-qaida, and we are now told that tax dollars are being sent directly to al-qaida because they are now somehow our ally. They are allegedly our enemy in Yemen and Afghanistan but not in Syria or Iraq. The consequence has not only been cognitive dissonance on a massive scale but a global awakening and awareness of the deceit taking place. Essentially, the more actions taken that make no sense to the average person, the more suspicions are raised. And that initial suspicion of deceit can often become a newly-opened door to awareness, understanding and awakening. A painful admission must be made here and I do not push this on anybody – some actions must take place, for this age to reach its crescendo and conclusion.

One aspect that I wanted to acknowledge was also the possibility of outside “influence” or interference from malevolent sources. Often, when a cycle like this takes place, I will change up my sleep periods entirely. If technology is being used to interfere with the public in general it is always on a specific timetable, ie: over an entire city or area simultaneously, essentially blanketing it for a set period of time to affect as many as possible. Some sources suggest that our REM state is the best for susceptibility to energetic programming but what is effective in the REM state has an extremely diminished effect in a non-REM state, such as being fully awake and conscious. Because of my work schedule, like many of you, I can’t always initiate this – sleeping in the day and staying awake all night. But I do when I can and have actually stayed in bed for up to twelve hours, and sometimes with even a few hours of sleep all strung together.

In conclusion, take what you want from this piece. There is a vast combination of energy at work, some we can detect and much that remains hidden to us. I asked, in the opening paragraph, if you recall the sky being bluer when you were a child than now. One often overlooked item that was hyped some time ago involves the star known as Alcyon and a massive Photon Belt, that some believe the earth is now on the outer fringes of, accounting for the shallow blue of our skies. If this is a factor, we are reacting to much more energy than we realize. I have experienced bouts of odd synchronicities and great intuition, followed by a seeming lack, only to have the cycle repeated. Small things you may recognize… having a phase or idea come into your mind, seemingly random, and then encountering that exact phrase or idea in the immediate future or a day later. What I understand is that this can be a type of communication. My suggestion is that when you recognize a synchronicity occur, like that random meeting with somebody you needed to see or uncovering information that you needed to understand an issue or event, quietly acknowledge that to Spirit. If you want, ask for more and go one step further, if you’re comfortable with the idea. If it has been an unexpected meeting, for example, you might offer to “pay it forward” so to speak. Arrangements were made to position that person specifically for us to meet them, so you might consider offering to be of service to Spirit to do the same for somebody else.

The last point I’ll touch on centers on those old movies of our life, we’ve hidden away, and even felt we came to terms with. At each level of our progression, we are granted proficiency in a limited measure based on our efforts to apply the knowledge we uncover. Sometimes, we are not ready or may lack the right clearing ritual or technique to ensure that that past painful or shameful event no longer can influence us or be used a a tool to influence us. It can be used, according to some, to keep us in a state of feeling helpless or confused. Essentially, it can be regarded as a type of attack. Instead of an outside stimuli, like world events, the energy that these energy parasites feed on can be harvested by one reliving the same event. One suggestion made to directly confront this is to change, like the dream I mentioned earlier, the outcome of the event. How often have you heard people say, “They actually believe their own lies!”? When a variation of a memory is induced and reinforced regularly, a new reality can overwrite the old memory. One other consideration I will make to you is Raziel’s Sphere Of Confluence tool, which I have used and continue to use for special issues. It is quite powerful and has been of enormous benefit personally to me, for a number of years.

Segmented and broken sleep patterns are taking place, this is a reality, if it has become noticeable in your life. As to the cause of this effect, there are numerous possibilities. I draw no conclusions for anybody but myself and try to take appropriate steps to keep balanced and grounded. While I have offered personal opinion and experiences involving this subject matter, I do not push those views on anybody. If this piece has been of interest or benefit, I am gratified. No matter, whatever transpires, try to recognize that it is a passing phase, and may well be a crucial one in order for us to achieve our potential.

You may derive some comfort and understanding from this article entitled “Have Your Sleep Patterns Changed Lately?” They have a fascinating piece on “shadow people” that, while I did not address it in this article, may well play a role in our broken and segmented sleep patterns over a given time period.

Another article on ascension, with numerous links found here, might also present some fascinating perspectives that may or may not have relevance – the Photon Belt, Solar Flares and Planet Nibiru.

I extend a very Happy New Year to all. Thank you for being a part of my life.

It became apparent, upon review, that I did not have the chance to address a crucial question, regarding Hinduism’s end times predictions…. Is this scenario of a “Golden Age” idyllic or does it come with a cost? Of considerable interest is that the predictions of a “savior” figure are found across the globe, with a guarantee of bloodshed and mass mayhem in his/their efforts to eradicate the “evil” and the non-believers. A good starting point in this exploration might be a quick look at predictions and prophecies in general; this really is a huge area where much is dependent on the receiver’s ability to correctly decode a given prediction. Consider Revelations and the numerous quatrains of Nostradamus, as vivid examples.

THE KEY OF PROPHECY

In Tablet XII of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, the great teacher explains that prophecy is very closely related to cause and effect, but that is only one aspect. Here’s how he puts it:

“Know ye, O man, that all of the future is an open book to him who can read. All effect shall bring forth its causes as all effects grew from the first cause. Know ye the future is not fixed or stable but varies as cause brings forth an effect. Look in the cause thou shalt bring into being, and surely thou shalt see that all is effect.”

Additionally, the aspect of cosmic cycles plays a crucial role, as well, according to Thoth’s instruction. In essence, one can draw at least an outline of future events, when there is a recognition that a past pattern or cycle is returning. On a micro scale, we all do this, though often not verbally. Consider the onset of the first symptoms of a cold. Based on one’s memory of similar times of contracting the cold bug, we are quite aware of what we need to lessen the symptoms or fight it directly with additional vitamin C.

Of particular interest to this subject is his suggestion that not only is the future not fixed, it is created through our thoughts and actions. On a side note, this holds great significance as we see events that are playing out on the world stage. Nothing ever “just” happens. This should ring a note of concern because what is happening is a combination of numerous agendas, some complementary, some at odds with each other. As this post will explore, there have been secret societies on earth for a VERY long time, some say beginning with Prince Enki and his Brotherhood of the Snake. If, as some contend and based on the discovery of gold mines in South Africa, that the Annunaki were mining 200,000 years ago, when did Enki form this first secret society? According to some scholars, this group began to fragment into our present-day organizations like the Rosicrucians and Masons. I would request that you keep this in mind, for it plays a key role, I believe, in both the prophecy and the ability to ensure its fruition by careful manipulation of events, over a long period of time. The “prophecy” may simply be a blueprint for a future that would take countless generations to realize.

Another aspect worth uncovering is in the realm of the metaphysical. The Akashic Records has been explained by some as housing a mirror copy of the actual event, including past, present and future events. But many believe that the future recorded here is not a certainty, but rather based on the most probable outcome, and based on the direction and intent of the prevailing energy. Dr. Bruce Goldberg suggests that, aside from a specific exercise to access this “library”, there are really 6 ways of foretelling the future ranging from clairvoyance to 5th dimensional travel.

From the perspective of sorcery, the creation and use of a thought form, servitor or Buddhist tulpa

has also been used by countless spiritual seekers, to see future events. Of crucial importance here is that the programming considerations are exact before the creation process begins. In the 1860’s there was a flourish of western seekers arriving in India, Tibet and Nepal, including Alexandra David Neel. One of her interests was in tulpas and eventually decided to create one herself. She spent months preparing and finally it was manifested as a form she could see with her mind’s eye. According to her journals, it eventually slipped from her control and was able to become visible in our physical reality. It took her 6 months to finally bring it under control and then dismantle it, during which time she was often gravely ill.

I draw your attention to the possibilities. First, numerous sources suggest that there are many ways to “see” into the future. Secondly, secret societies have been around for a very long time, if sources are correct. Combine the ability to see a possible future, and then through a multi-generational organization, be able to implement specific actions to bend that possible future…. in very specific directions towards a desired outcome. Unfortunately, it is impossible to control all the effects of a given action and efforts to correct can lead to chaos. Consider the well-known actions of the US to destabilize and overthrow the elected government of Ukraine, with continued claims of Russia invading. More recently, Saudi Arabia did the unthinkable and arbitrarily slashed oil prices to a point now about $78 dollars a barrel. The House of Saud has openly stated this is a reaction to Russia’s protection and support of pro-Russian separatists as well as Syria and was a means of punishing them. More actions will certainly be initiated as each “effect” is firmly felt, resulting in more chaos, distress and confusion globally. This continuing and mounting global confusion has only one destination, right? Perhaps not.

Here’s another small variable to add. Throughout the 80’s Dr. Helen Wambach and Dr. Chet Snow were using hypnosis to assist people with recalling past lives known, of course, as past life recall or regression. And then they struck on an unusual idea. If they could use hypnosis to recall the past, was it possible they could use it to see the future incarnation of that soul? To their amazement, it appeared they could and the “future” came in 4 distinct variations, ranging from a Mad Max scenario to a space race living in orbital platforms. Of the 2500 test subjects, their next incarnation was between 2100 and 2300, after which it appeared humanity took off to explore the galaxy. leaving only a remnant of humanity behind.

PARALLEL PREDICTIONS, CHARACTERS AND OUTCOMES

A large majority of believers in the west consider that not only are the predictions of future events of their prophets accurate but that they are also unique. A minimum of objective research will render that assertion null. The parallels abound but there is a secret key here that must be uncovered and acknowledged. The use and placement of words in a description that is often full of highly symbolic words, written in such a way that a variety of meanings could be derived from the “prophecy” has been a winning formula for religious mythology. When these prophecies are written down in so-called religious or sacred texts, they are accepted as fact by adherents to that text.

Comparing all prophecies from all belief systems would be a monumental task so I wanted to isolate just one component in particular. Several make claims of a coming messiah, world teacher or savior, who will purge the land of non-believers and then establish that version of religion on all of humanity.

HINDUISM

The coming World Teacher will be an emanation of Vishnu and known as the Kalki Avatar. He will ride into battle against the evil rulers, will defeat Kali, sitting astride a white mount and wielding a magical blade called Rok Namaru. He will not only bring justice to the land, but he will reestablish dharma, as well as a global caste system.

In my estimation, is this future outcome idyllic? Short answer is…. not for me. On another level, this World Teacher does not make sense. Most people, with a basic knowledge of Hinduism will generally accept that Vishnu is the “sustainer” of the Hindu Trinity, with Shiva and Brahma being the destructive and creation forces respectively. In essence, this is a world teacher but also a conqueror. He will essentially use great force in a global massacre to instill a religion of peace on all of humanity. I contend that, in itself, is illogical…. if he is to be a type of war leader, wouldn’t the expert Shiva be a more suitable entity to make war? Add to that, it is claimed that Kali is actually the wife and consort of Shiva.

CHRISTIANITY

The central pillar of this belief system is the death and resurrection of the pivotal figure, whose given name was Yehoshua, changed to Jesus by the Greek translators. Additionally, there is a fervent belief that this same teacher of love and peace will return at the end of the age as a conqueror. Once again, this seems quite illogical to bring peace at the point of sword.

There are other problems with the “second coming” predictions. Jesus spoke about conditions that would be present in the last days and further stated in several places, including Matthew 24:34, that those who were alive then, would see all of it happen – in their lifetime.

So, some similarities between the returning Jesus and Kalki include the white horse, the sword and even the mission and ultimate outcome – death and destruction, and imposition of a particular religion for everyone.

Within the tens of thousands of denominations of so-called Christianity, there are competing agendas at play and this is a cause for concern. For example, Christian Zionism – which is an enormous oxymoron – and many other related religious groups believe that a magical rapture will take place Additionally, there will be a final battle of world powers where their savior will emerge victorious. Some versions believe they’ll be taken to heaven before the butchery begins, some believe during the “Tribulation” and some say after. Once again, it is believed that an entity who preaches peace will use violence and bloodshed to enforce his will.

JUDAISM

The term “Messiah” is fundamentally different than the Christian version or definition, as far as characteristics. In Judaism, a messiah has no divine connotations or connections – he is simply a human who can step into a place of leadership to lead the Jews. And it is believed that the potential exists for a messiah in every generation. Once again, an enormous amount of death and destruction is involved until the world acknowledges their god as supreme and humanity is in service to them, the Jews.

“The document known now as The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is one of the most important documents ever to come to light in the world. In fact, it can be described as the blueprint for the domination of the world by a secret brotherhood.”

If this document is the blueprint, it would be logical that it would support certain imperatives or objectives that were designed with an ultimate goal. Enter Albert Pike and a further bit of proof of the involvement of secret societies in forcing events to transpire. In a letter to his “Illuminati” handler in Europe named Mazinni, Pike detailed 3 coming world wars he’d seen in visions, and included the purpose for each of them. He states that WW3 will, in part, be waged so that Zionism and Islam mutually destroy each other, economically and militarily exhausting the resources of the respective allies.

Similar to Christian beliefs, the Quran states that there will be a type of savior that will unite all Muslims known as the Mahdi. Additionally, there is an anti-christ type figure, as well, called Ad-Dajjal. In a strange twist, the Quran predicts that “Jesus” will not only return at Mahdi‘s right hand, he will also do personal battle with Dajjal and kill him.

The end result is the establishment of worldwide caliphate, where everyone will observe the laws and restrictions of Islam, as interpreted by a select few. It has been suggested that the formation of ISIL is a precursor to Islam’s end times predictions coming to fruition.

HOPI

Like Hinduism, the Hopi recognized that the world underwent various cycles. Their legends state that, long ago, two brothers who were teachers, parted ways. One remained on Turtle Island, while the other departed for the east, carrying a piece of a sacred tablet. He stated that, at a specific time, when the conditions were met, he would return. Known as Pahana, he would be a teacher that would ultimately merge all world religions into one and issue in a golden age.

As a side note of possible relevance, there are some Hopi who believe that they are a lost remnant of the tribe of Joseph. Additionally, the prophecies pertaining to this enigmatic figure state a great “purification” will begin to take place, shortly after his return. Another oddity is that he is referred to as a “White Brother”, a white man but one who does not act as other whites do. The legends also state that red will be his associated colour, which have symbolic meanings of both blood and war.

This is hardly an exhaustive list of “end time saviors” but are the ones that I believe are presently pursuing conflicting – and in some cases mutually beneficial – agendas. If we take them at face value, there would appear to be no other outcome except death and destruction before a new age of peace and harmony begins…. in whatever form. But are these outcomes certainties?

Many believe that no future is written in stone. It would be extremely dishonest for any “psychic” to tell a client that specific things – new job, romantic interest, more money, new house etc. – will be present in their lives in 6 months time. For these things to manifest, every single step towards its manifestation must be taken correctly and in the proper sequence. The inclusion of other people in ensuring the realization and fulfillment of a future prediction also means that they must take specific actions as well. The full variables involved can be incalculable and impossible to determine, let alone ensure that each is fulfilled.

Looking at global events and graphically seeing people in positions of power brazenly employ deceit and hypocrisy, while alternately utilizing emotion to push their respective propaganda can be extremely unsettling. As spiritually aware beings, we are hurt when we see defenseless people being abused by a stronger group, sparking a range of emotional responses from compassion to outright anger. Looking at the actions of ISIL, it is not too difficult to see that much of their propaganda is designed to spark that latter emotion. Anger can be an extremely useful tool in the hands of professional manipulators, where people of conscience can be enticed into committing acts of horrendous cruelty.

To sum up….

This piece has suggested a number of possibilities. First, that many believe it is possible to see and foretell future events. Second, there is evidence that secret societies have existed for a very long time, who have the resources and influence to implement specific actions to alter or change a future into one of their own choosing. Third, there are common elements of a world teacher/savior/messiah type figure, who will use force and violence to instill peace… and their brand of religion.

Not all is a certainty, however effusively the religion’s adherents profess their predictions to be. For fulfillment of their form of tyranny, there must be a large source of participants who will blindly follow their religious leader’s words. One variable that these NWO wizards did not effectively address is, essentially, the effects that their frenzied actions would have on humanity as a whole. When the plans for humanity were incorporated, which I believe was several thousand years ago, it would have been impossible to factor in two major variables present now, namely the internet and the rise of both atheism and agnosticism.

The irony is that each time the “script writers” use an event designed to further their agenda – that obviously is not in humanity’s best interest – more people are awakened. For success, they require the energetic support of vast numbers of blind and obedient devotees, who have been taught never to question their religion, their holy book or its interpretation by their minister/rabbi/imam. Religion’s assertion that only through religion can one truly be spiritual (essentially, being a religious person equates to being a spiritual person) has been shown for the deception it truly is. People of conscience are waking up and beginning to voice their demand for freedom from these imposing religions, that have been the root cause of an incredible amount of death, fear and terror for many centuries. Add to this group of “script writers”, we see very rich people and companies committing illegal acts with the aim of consolidating as much personal wealth as possible… and maintaining control of it at all costs.

By refusing to acknowledge any end times scenario as a certainty, where vast numbers must undergo death and destruction for the few to realize their greedy goals, we effectively remove our energy from seeing them manifested. Some humans may well be perfectly predictable, but not all. Once the yearning for peace, dignity, freedom and a right to self determination and personal safety takes root, the energy of these predictions weakens. Freedom from oppression can be an extremely powerful motivating and cohesive force. Unfortunately, based on history, those who take increasing amounts of power over the lives of others do not voluntarily relinquish it.

Thoth’s description correlates with many others, ironically enough, as follows:

“Then shall there come unto man the great warfare that shall make the Earth tremble and shake in its course. Aye, then shall the Dark Brothers open the warfare between Light and the night.

Nation shall rise against nation using the dark forces to shatter the Earth. Weapons of force shall wipe out the Earth-man until half of the races of men shall be gone. Then shall come forth the Sons of the Morning and give their edict to the children of men.”

“Then shall men cease from their striving, brother against brother and father against son. Then shall the ancient home of my people rise from its place beneath the dark ocean waves. Then shall the Age of Light be unfolded with all men seeking the Light of the goal. Then shall the Brothers of Light rule the people. Banished shall be the darkness of night.”

The terms “Sons of the Morning” and “Brothers of Light” will have to wait for another time. One thing these passages suggest is that certain things must take place. Please note that only after a certain level of death and destruction transpires, do the “Sons of the Morning” appear. It may suggest an outside – perhaps extraterrestrial or extra-dimensional – force that has some type of proprietary right/obligation to earth or humanity. It may also indicate that their assistance must be expressly requested, before they can take action. Or their intervention is a result of shattered cosmic or universal laws which they can no longer ignore.

I have not included the entities that I truly believe are the true architects of this Iron Age and who wish it to continue indefinitely, ensuring them a constant supply of nourishment. That is an enormous topic in itself because there are so many components, not the least of which involves cosmic contracts, binding a soul to a specific entity and granting that entity ownership, upon completion of that incarnation. This is true slavery that many contend extends through every incarnation of that soul fragment until said contract is annulled by the individual soul.

As always, I do not push my own – or any other – belief on anybody. Please feel free to leave comments, observations or questions. A very Happy Thanksgiving to my American brothers and sisters!

I’ve been quite busy of late, in part completing this particular poem I’ve entitled “The Fourth Power”. We’ve scheduled a show to narrate this latest piece on Sat. Nov. 14 @ 5PM EST. We did run into some problems with this show…. please advance the player to 6:50, when the show actually begins. The intro song was Robbie Robertson, entitled Showdown at Big Sky. I would also suggest one of my other favorites by this former The Band member (with Eric Clapton) called Fallen Angel.

Here’s a short synopsis:

Battles are raging in the astral realms, while in one reality on earth, a transition of the yugas is about to transpire. Entire settlements of astral entities have disappeared and the path leads to a hellish world of created beings, who are using an illegal tryst to launch their soul harvests. The Aeons respond to an arbitration request and send one of their agents to unravel the enormous puzzle, for on the Earth, the World Teacher has appeared, and there is clear evidence uncovered of a strange collusion between the hell realm and those bent on fully enslaving humanity. In a daring move, Vishnu’s physical host is assassinated, even as the kings of Agartha and Shamballa, as well as Lord Kalki, are readying their forces for battle. But prophecy requires 4 Horsemen… who, among the gods and goddesses, has the integrity and wisdom to be The Fourth Power?

Because of the complexity of the characters involved and the role they play in what some claim is happening right now – we are on the cusp of Satya Yuga – I’ll be exploring not only their history but their context as well, within a much larger picture. While the idea of a new golden age is enticing, as detailed in sacred Hindu texts, I will examine whether this “end times” scenario is idyllic. There may well be some hidden costs to this new “freedom”.

To understand the scope and complexity of distilling Hinduism into a single cogent image, as it pertains to their end of days predictions, one must reference many sources. And not all of these sources are in agreement. As a small example, most adherents consider Hinduism to be monotheistic and yet…. their own texts expound on the existence of numerous gods. Clearly, there is some disparity here. In a final distillation, most branches will agree on an ageless and unknowable prime force, which does or does not interfere in the affairs of humanity, depending on the version and belief. Hinduism has undergone many changes in both theology and doctrinal beliefs over many centuries. At one time, King Varuna was said to be the divine creator, only to be replaced with a succession of other entities over the ensuing ages.

As a researcher, when one encounters unmistakable parallels in belief systems/mythologies, which describe an identical action by identical types of characters, seeking out the prime source becomes paramount. For instance, in the west we take for granted that only prophecies and predictions of “Judeo-Christianity”, as outlined in their Bible, hold any relevance or veracity. Would you be surprised to find out that “riding a pale horse and carrying a huge sword” as Jesus will allegedly be doing, was actually taken from Hinduism and their prediction that the Kalki Avatar will arrive in the same way…. and do the same job Christians think of their “savior”.

So I don’t seem to pick on western religious mythologies, let’s take a quick look at the legendary Homeric writings which detailed an ancient conflict known as The Trojan War. To say “war” as in singular, is not quite correct, for there were a series of battles for control of Troy, including with the infamous Amazons. One source stated that they actually captured Troy for a short time, while others proclaim Queen Penthesilea to be one of the greatest heroes of that particular war. While Paris’s actions may have surprised the Hellenic world, this narrative was already well-established in the Hindu texts, thousands of years before Homer’s epics were conceived.

The Ramayana is one of Hinduism’s most sacred texts and details a crafty plan with the same framework as Homer…. but with some added ingredients. Ravanna, a “demon king” is enticed to kidnap Sita, the wife of rival King Rama. Forces are marshaled, including a host of “sprit beings”, a final battle is fought after extended warfare and the wrong doer is killed. One very notable addition involves a rakshasa princess named Surpanakha, who provided the “enticement” for the kidnapping.

Consider another “parallel” in the Baha’i faith, which essentially confirms that Hiduism’s Kalki Avatar is their “savior” known as Baha’u’llah. Another source suggests that the enigmatic Nostradamus predicted the “world teacher” who would be known as Mabus. Because this information plays a role in my latest poem, I want to spend a short time on this mysterious character.

It is distressing to see the number of “scholars” who equate Mabus to the infamous “Anti-Christ” based on the interpretation of only one quatrain where he is mentioned by name. Check out the sheer wackiness of some here. The reference to Mabus is as follows, as found in Century 2, Quatrain 62:

“Mabus then will soon die, there will come Of people and beasts a horrible rout: Then suddenly one will see vengeance, Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.”

This clearly states that the cataclysms will result as a consequence of his death…. and not by his hand or any action that he takes. One could go a bit further and suggest – not unreasonably – that Mabus is assassinated because he stands in the way of some force or power. The reference to the comet, some contend, suggests a precision missile strike, that takes out a world leader-type figure and there is a massive military response to it. Some contend that one other quatrain, Century 2 Quatrain 70 may predict this “assassination”, likely during an important speech. But you decide:

“The dart from the sky will make its extension,

Death speaking; great execution.

The stone in the tree, the proud nation restored,

Noise, human monster, expiation.”

To complicate things further, another source suggests that the “Fourth Seal” of the Bible’s Revelations actually refers to the emergence and mission of the Kalki Avatar and its new “Golden Age” is actually the Satya Yuga. And that the return of the messiah Jesus is none other than

So…. if any of this abbreviated post interests you, chances are that you will really enjoy my latest poetic epic The Fourth Power.

It became obvious, from re-reading my last post on this topic, that I failed to adequately address the central controversy of “black magick” and “psychic attacks”, namely the two polar extremes. On one hand, many who claim that if one doesn’t believe in spellcasting, then it can have no effect, while a rival view staunchly believes in the powers of the shaman or witch to inflict harm or healing. As with the highly propagandized “Creation VS Evolution” debate, this is really a false dichotomy that we have taken on, as a species, over many millenia. It has been suggested that the underlying and basic reason for establishment of religion was to explain the unknowable. Today we are aware that lightning is not thrown by a god and a rainbow is the result of refracted light which produces the well-known prism effect. My research and understanding of the nature of magick and psychic attacks suggests there exists a series of varying vibrations. Consider the words love and hate and how many “varying vibrations” those words carry.

IT CAN’T HARM YOU IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN IT

While containing partial truth, this statement does not reflect our current understanding of reality. For instance, will not believing in the flu make you immune? Conversely, the messianic religious mythologies share a similar version of a rising messiah-type figure who will slay all the “non-believers” who haven’t given their soul to them. It is no secret that Islam and Christianity use hell as a common tool. If one does not believe in a hell in a particular way, or not at all, can/will this decision harm them in some way in this life?

It’s essential to recall that the term “black magick” is entirely subjective and based on several factors, not the least of which is surrounding environment. A recent study published by Cognitive Science revealed some fascinating findings, regarding non-religious and religious children, and their ability to distinguish fact from fantasy. Religious children in the study would accept any claims of supernatural acts…. but only if God was mentioned. For many centuries religions were, and continue to be, an integral part of civilization. Islam and Christianity combined make up roughly 55% of all religious adherents worldwide but, according to Adherents.com, there is a surprising 16% who identify as non-religious. That’s more than Hinduism or even Buddhism. Of special interest is the notation that half of the “non-religious” group regarded themselves as “theistic but with no religion”. Contained within this group would be the pagan community, including the variations of Gardner’s Wicca. A commonality paganism shares with religions is the belief one can obtain aid from a source that can’t be seen with physical eyes and/or felt with human senses.

As I have mentioned, consider the innocence of mere candles on a child’s birthday cake. Recall this is an ancient and abbreviated version of a candle magick ritual. The purpose is a “wish” for a want/need/desire, while blowing the candle out sends that request to the ether. Candle magick is said to be effective for a wide variety of solutions ranging from love and abundance to calamity and bad fortune. The point is there is a belief that it is a useful tool in “harnessing” the ether – and usually specific entities – in fulfilling a requested task.

Now consider a simple chord. Yes, there is a branch of magic known as “Chord Magick” and once again, we’ll draw on two specific examples to display the range of polarities involved. For hundreds of years, there has been a secret ritual to produce an item known as The Witches Ladder, usually in the following sequence. One person would wish harm or injury on another and would approach the witch, while providing suitable payment. The witch would take a virgin cord and begin the enchantment, whereby she slowly tied a series of knots while maintaining an emotional state of absolute hatred towards the victim. Once complete, it would be hidden away and only neutralized if the knots were untied.

Conversely, there are woodcuts from the middle ages showing witches handing knotted chords to sailors. Here’s the deal with that…. it was claimed that the witch was able to harness the energy of wind as she tied knots in a chord. It was said that if the ship came to a standstill because of no breeze, the sailor would untie a knot and release the wind trapped there by the enchantment. Now consider the nun who prays the rosary for the healing of humanity, while a solitary witch may well be knotting chords for a very similar purpose.

Before progressing, it would seem prudent, based on the above information, to add an addendum to a more generalized definition of black magick. Black magick is any magick that causes harm or injury. Does this sound reasonable? I hope so because I’m hinging the following information on that premise.

MODERN DAY “HIDDEN” MAGIC

In the late 1800’s, Scofield and Darby were commissioned to initiate a doctrine known as Dispensationalism. that continues to this day in many forms. One of the most prevalent, yet least known offshoot variation, is known as Dominism, which includes a segment referred to as the New Apostolic Reformation. It is important to note that this group believes that they must have full control over all Seven Mountains before Jesus will return. Most Christian denominations believe scripture indicates exactly the opposite – their messiah will arrive and then claim the world as his/their own. It is also essential to note one very crucial and troubling detail to their ” God-appointed mission”, which they call “spiritual warfare”.

Strategic level spiritual warfare involves detection of a person/site/location as being under demonic influence. One member “reveals” what God’s plan is for countering this demonic force and it is carried out. Ranging from fasting to “warfare prayers”, the underlying component can be clearly seen. The intent is for harm or injury against a perceived demonic threat. Equipment and rituals aside, systems like Mukumba can be used in much the same way – to cause harm or injury.

Regarding the notion that one cannot be injured by something they don’t believe in is not a “one size fits all” answer. Our exploration would not be complete without delving into the belief of psychic vampires, beings who can draw energy from others for their own consumption. Consider standing in a long check out line and a person behind you begins to voice their frustration as somebody butts into line. Chances are if this happens in front of you, your energy level is going to change, given this outside stimulation. The “butter” responds with arrogance or anger and it is next to impossible not to make an assessment of the situation. Lower vibrating energy – anger, jealousy, envy – can be extremely easy to stir up with a minimum of stimuli.

Add to this, there are no end of sites proclaiming to give you the ability to hypnotize anybody to your will. In the least, many provide additional skills like Neuro-Linguistic Programming, allowing one essentially to get somebody to like you in 90 seconds or less.

All of us have experienced being in a room with a joyful or calming person and the effect it has on the whole. In reverse, being in the company of one who is angry or continually complains can have an equally, yet negative effect. Among the most draining are those that are perpetually in pain or hardship of some type and use that to draw energy from those around them. This draining sensation is palpable and can hardly be denied. Do all psychic vampires know what they’re doing? In a related area of exploration, do they all derive pleasure in the injury of others? On some level, those who have learned to manipulate others have, at least, a basic understanding of what they’re doing. That may well be only an understanding of the results they achieve.

Another area that must be at least briefly examined lies, surprisingly enough, in the realm of prophecy or the foretelling of future events. This reality does not remain static; the energies are always shifting and moving, most often pushed along by the prevailing attitude of humanity towards a variety of issues. Predicting future events is most often associated with the image of a seer or witch and a crystal ball. The reality is that news stations display a weather “forecast” for at least a few days in advance, stocks are predicted to rise or fall and even election predictions have held our attention as examples of “predictions”. Add to this, we also have to contend with religious “prophecies” across a very wide spectrum of systems.

In the writings attributed to Thoth, known as The Emerald Tablets, he informs the student that the key to prophecy is recognition of past patterns and history. Raziel often reiterated that one’s spiritual progression is similar to getting a cold. There are specific symptoms of a cold, for example, that can be noticed before it hits one fully. If we are aware, we’ll likely take steps to lessen or reverse the effects of the oncoming cold. The key, of course, is recognition. Raziel suggests that the seemingly negative effects encountered on one’s own spiritual journey – obstacles, trials, conflicts – can be sensed in advance and action can then be taken but the key is recognizing the symptoms, often accompanied by the arrival of new guides.

Most adults have had at least one mild to severe traumatic event in their life, which changed its direction significantly. In some cases, this was the result of direct action – energetically or physically – directed at the victim. Remember the shopping line analogy? It is believed by many that every relationship we make establishes an energetic chord. The more intimate the connection, the stronger the chord. It has been suggested that we can be influenced by these very connections without our conscious awareness. Could using this connection to send very low vibration energy be considered a psychic attack? Before dismissing this, consider the well-known “Mothers Intuition”, where she can inexplicably receive feelings that her child is in danger.

Very often, we have heard people state, who have just ended an intimate relationship, “I feel like a piece of me is missing.” Artists and writers have been known to remark, “There’s a small piece of me in this.” What each is referring to is essentially sympathetic magick. Once two objects – or people – come into energetic contact with each other, there is an energetic link established. It is through this link – hair, nail clipping, necklace – that Voodoo sends its intention and directed energy.

As for a feeling like a piece of one is missing…. it is believed in shamanic traditions that, during an extremely traumatic event, part of the soul can break away from the fear or terror and become trapped in the Lower Worlds. One task of the shaman, once the symptoms of soul loss were detected, was to enact a ritual called soul retrieval, where he/she would journey to the Lower Worlds, find the lost soul fragment and return it to the host. A quick aside here, and an equally unknown aspect of shamanism, involves the interference from past lives in the present incarnation.

There is a growing interest and even acceptance that many of us have had previous incarnations in human form. Some even contend that issues like love at first sight, health problems and even special skills or talents are indications of something brought forward into this life, from a past life. In this case, the shaman put the person into a kind malleable trance and through a type of guided visualization, took a part of his/her consciousness to the Lower Worlds to a location known as The Chamber Of Wounds. It was said that here, the soul essence could see the first wound inflicted that was now causing trouble in their present incarnation. By helping them see it, they could then – psychologically and magically – assist them in the healing process.

There is another concerning prospect that needs to be briefly addressed here. Some years ago, Delores Cannon coined a new term – “back drop people.” She suggested that a significant portion of humanity was not here to do or be anything more than the equivalent of extras on a movie set. Carlos Castaneda, in his Don Juan writings, went even further by suggesting that not all humans had a soul. Understandably, this is an extremely difficult concept to accept, given the prevalence of religious indoctrination many of us have undergone in childhood.

Speaking of souls once again…. ever thought about how wonderful it would be if you could play piano like Liberace, or paint like Leonardo? Burt Goldman claims that, through Quantum Jumping, one can access an aspect of you in another reality with the skill/ability you seek and then return with that gift intact. Essentially, with little or no practice, you could become a world class photographer or writer, thanks to another “you” in a parallel/alternate reality. Before dismissing this entirely, it should be noted this method hinges heavily on visualization, which is also an important component to the so-called Law Of Attraction. Using visualization in a psychological setting has observable results, in some cases. To take this one step further into The Twilight Zone, many firmly believe that we each have the ability to enter other realities and interact with non-physical, non-human entities.

I haven’t included the astrological component but, in the least, it would be prudent to keep track of sun activity, especially warnings of CME’s and X Flares. Some New Age beliefs contend that these blasts of energy actually contain information that is changing humanity at a cellular level, while others maintain it is really a type of inter-dimensional portal. Why is this pertinent?

The effects of these energy discharges are felt by all. Simply observe human behavior during these eruptions, and you’ll note an increase in hostile or confrontational energy. Knowing these events in advance is one key, I believe, that is being used to manipulate this reality towards a specific goal. Most people are capable of varying levels of sympathy and/or empathy. Staging a horrific event in conjunction with high energy blasts from the sun, and then laying blame, the instigators are able to channel normally calming or positive energy to the human need for “justice”. You can be certain that these “instigators” have considerable awareness of how people react to a given stimuli.

To claim one cannot be effected by what one does not believe in is neither wrong nor right. One does not have to believe in magic or energy manipulation to clearly feel the effects of energy around them, if only in retrospect. The ability to communicate more effectively than ever allows an idea to flourish based on a single image or symbol. The use of very specific words in specific patterns and intonations also plays a hand in manipulation of emotions.

This really turns out to be quite complicated, doesn’t it? What does one have to accept and what to reject? Do the notions of psychic attack and strategic spiritual warfare seem eerily similar? If a person is able to effect those around them, with their attitude and energy, without conscious thought…. does it stand to reason that there are those who can accomplish this WITH conscious thought?

Looking into our personal view of this, these questions help to establish our own unique paradigms. Obviously we are under no obligation to accept any creed, doctrine or truth. You have a number of elements laid out above in this buffet, but as always, take only what you want.

If you’re reading this, chances are above average that you have noted a strange sense of energy, which can be almost overwhelming at times. Numerous sources have suggested that, for varied reasons, this shifting and unfamiliar energy has caused considerable worry or urgency. Common symptoms seem to be mood swings – including bursts of irrational anger – headaches, memory loss, irregular sleep patterns, vivid dreams or a total lack of dream recall, sensing we may have lost contact with our guides or even “God”, and greatly increased self talk or inner dialogue.

Lee Harris sums up the energies that are/will be prevalent during July and August. Even if you don’t believe in this energy nonsense, I would highly suggest that you check out Lee’s description and see if there are any pertinent factors revealed, that you may observe in your own experiential reality.

That was really the lead-in to the purpose of this post, namely a show where I’ll be a guest, tonight at 9PM EST on The Brenda Tennerelli Show, where we’ll be discussing the energetic shifts and DNA changes that are being reported globally. Recent news reports have made global headlines of what they deem to be the first human born with 3 strand DNA. The report also suggested strongly that humanity in general was undergoing a change at the cellular level. Dr. Barranda Fox concluded, in her report, a sobering yet fascinating observation. Scientists and geneticists who are studying this phenomenon cannot predict what this mutation’s end result will be but Dr. Fox contends it may well see humans developing and utilizing abilities deemed as “supernatural”.

BLACK MAGIC AND PSYCHIC ATTACKS

There are going to be numerous topics Brenda and I will be discussing but I wanted to take a few minutes to address one issue that most of us have at least considered, namely the status of black magic and psychic attacks. First off, what is “black magic”? This term is entirely subjective and is determined by the individual. What is a birthday or anniversary ritual that almost everybody in the western world observes repeatedly? Would you be surprised to know that this is indeed a magical ritual hailing back to pagan roots known as “candle magic”? Candles on a cake may seem harmless to many but consider that the ritual is identical across many cultures. Make a wish, visualize the want, need or desire and then blow out the candle, symbolically sending your wish to the ether. An entire branch of magic, more advanced rituals involve additional actions including carving a sigil or name into the candle to achieve very specific results from very specific entities.

Is this “black magic”? For a devout religious believer, who is aware it is an ancient magical ritual, this could well be considered “black magic”, while others would not bat an eyelash at this revelation. It is no secret that untold numbers of black magicians observe a creed set forth by Crowley, namely, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” Late in his life, too weak to perform rituals, he tasked three of his followers to perform an energy-intensive and very dangerous ritual called “The Babalon Working“. Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard and Marjorie Cameron intended to literally open a hole in time/space and allow an entity named Babalon to enter. Unknown to Crowley, the trio had an additional objective – they wished to create a “moon child”, using sex magic, whereby the entity would enter Parsons and impregnate Marjorie.

From a magician’s point of view, this is a fascinating concept and some may consider this ritual merely grey. Incidentally, the working had considerable negative side effects for each of the participants. L. Ron Hubbard, for example, became paralyzed down the entire right side of his body. When he recovered, he found he was able to access incredible genius in his writing. Jack Parsons died a short time later in a mysterious chemical fire, while his mother also died under cloudy circumstances.

One might chuckle and draw a parallel with the infamous “King Tut’s Curse”, where numerous members of the expedition seemed to die within a short time span, under strange circumstances. What is interesting to note is that Howard Carter, one of the first to enter the tomb, lived on for an additional decade. The question to ask would be: Were the spores a natural phenomenon or were they purposely placed there, thereby validating, to some extent, this was indeed a “curse” with actual physical results?

Is it truly possible to place a “hex” on an individual, as Voodoo and Makumba adherents believe? Robert Bruce has been teaching 1,000’s of people over two decades how to have willed astral projections, maintaining that this is a natural process that almost everybody can do with some practice. He places great emphasis on “psychic self defense”, as does occult researcher and author Dion Fortune. On a personal note, my own research and education has involved the teachings and writings ranging from Abremalin’s Sacred Magic to the Ogdoadic tradition’s emphasis on “The Magical Personality”. In the former, he outlines in great detail a lengthy, six month ritual whereby the magician or sorcerer connects directly to his “Holy Guardian Angel”. Sounds almost religious but don’t let the holy sounding name fool you. He reveals that the direct connection includes some interesting fringe benefits, namely the services of the four princes of Hell, a number of their servants, as well as lesser entities to be used to charge talismans and amulets. Establishing one’s own “Magical Personality”, as taught in Ogdoadic traditions, is essentially building up an image of how one appears in the spirit realm, when they interact with entities of that reality. One aspect is what weapons or defenses that one’s spirit representative will have.

Most children in the west grew up believing that, even as a mere child, they could actually communicate with a reality outside of 3D through a mechanism called prayer. The vast majority of practicing magicians and witches, based on my own experience and research, regard their workings to be the equivalent of prayer, where they can both interact and request specific wants/needs/desires. Add to this, there are Hermetic traditions observed in texts like The Kybalion, which outlines the 7 Universal Principles they claimed to be present on all levels of reality. One of their most well-known axioms, based on the Principle of Correspondence, is “As above, so below; As below, so above.” Just like “prayers” prevalent in almost all religious and magical systems, it is a commonly held belief that one can ask for and receive some type of “divine intervention” – or whatever one wishes to address it as – in this reality.

In a related belief system, Buddhist monks in Tibet were witnessed and filmed moving an enormous rock several hundred meters, using a precision placement of varying types of horns and human voices and tones. Obviously the vibrations were responsible for the anti-gravity effect but is there a possibility the same result – or much more – could be achieved with much less noticeable tools? Reiki and most types of energy healing systems share a commonality with Mukumba and Voodoo – they both believe they can interact directly with a person’s energy, albeit for very different reasons. The term for this type of “Black Magic”, whereby a witch places a hex or curse on an individual, is sympathetic magic. In brief terms, the premise is this: if an object has been in contact with the individual being cursed – hair, nail clippings, pictures as a few quick examples – it remained energetically attached to the host. It is through this connection – known as a secret sympathy – that the actual black magic spell would flow.

What About Psychic Attacks?

This is really the conclusion and focal point of this piece and it here is here that I’ll attempt to render my own observations and insights. As always, I force no single truth or my observations on anybody. There appear to be two distinct camps, rival sides of polarity, in terms of black magic and psychic adversaries having an ability to interfere with an individual. On one side, some contend that a failure to believe in ill-effects from a spell renders the curse useless while others firmly and fervently trust in the process.

Here’s my “two cents worth”.

I believe fully that each of us can be unduly – and sometimes subtly – “influenced” by forces that we cannot detect with our physical five senses, whether good or ill intent. Add to that, we have advertising filled with both sigils and secret symbols, which impact each of us without our conscious awareness. Any name brand product, that gains popularity, enacts a process that few are truly aware of – creation and continued life of a “meme” or “thought form”. Consider McDonald’s arches for a second and likely your mind will draw an image and/or feeling immediately. Another good analogy, of a different type of meme, would be a German man who has watched all of Sylvester Stallone’s movies, albeit only dubbed in German. He gets the chance to meet his idol and is slightly disappointed to see he is only 5″6″ tall, doesn’t carry pearl handled revolvers nor chew a matchstick. Globally there are literally millions of Sylvester Stallone fans (in varying degrees), who arrive at his films with certain expectations. This is the meme, which was\is established and maintained solely by the thought energy of the “fans”.

My conclusion is quite simple and you are obviously not obligated to accept it. Based on my own studies, the key to at least lessening a negative force that is directed against you and has a detrimental or unwanted effect, is one’s own vibration. … essentially the mood that we maintain. If we slip into a negative emotional cycle, for whatever reason, the “spell” or attack is a sympathetic vibration to our lowered emotional state. Additionally, I believe this can be manipulated through both intent and through technology.

The key is is to clear, when we detect ourselves slipping into dark waters. The methods for this are numerous. Readjust by taking time out from everything and engage in high vibration activity. My favorite is using laughter, so one of my tools for coping is taking time to watch comedians. Some “attacks” may serve to exacerbate a present condition like a headache or flu-like symptoms. Another area of concern, which is prevalent in most spiritually-aware people, is our compassion, empathy and sympathy for any living breathing being in pain. As a consequence, I would suggest limiting one’s exposure to MSM and their “interpretation” of global events. There is much more to this “infotainment” than meets the eye…. literally.

A final suggestion is to take regular showers or baths – or when you feel unusual discomfort – and include a pinch of salt. I can determine when a bad headache is fully internal or is being “assisted” by an outside force and that is simply to immerse my head under the salted water. More often than not, the pain quickly fades away if the headache isn’t very intense. When it is migraine level, standing under a strong and pulsing hot shower will sever the connection from outside. What you’ll most often find is that the headache will seem to bounce around your head, staying for several minutes in one place then switching to another area. To underscore how effective a shower can be, Robert Bruce’s first action, when he senses an attack, is to quickly hop into the shower. According to him, the flowing and moving water presents a type of dampening field that absorbs and reflects certain vibrations of energy.

If numerous reports and observations from the spiritual community – both modern and ancient – are to be believed, periods of shifting and intense energy like now provide an ideal medium to speed up our spiritual progress, through tests and evaluations. A quote by the present Dalai Llama sums it up succinctly: “The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one’s life.”
